[QUOTE="Burton Strauss III, post: 4222913, member: 59677"](Telling me not to bid on these auctions is not helpful - I know what I'm doing, these types of auctions are a way to monitor and sometimes acquire oddball out of business better than basement slabs - as long as you set a fair price and don't go auction-crazy... a '39 Walker in high-AU/low-MS for $40 is about a $5 slab premium... they've sold for $20-$70 on fleaBay the last few months) I bid on three lots in an auction hosted on LiveAuctioneers that ended on Saturday. Friday I had received an email that I was outbid on two of the lots. I had bid a fair price, I was outbid, it happens a lot. End of day yesterday I received notification that I had won all three lots, but the two I was outbid at sold at my maximum. It certainly seems - but the platform doesn't show - that somebody overbid, retracted the bid and then walked me up. [ATTACH=full]1080891[/ATTACH] I've emailed the auction house asking what's up... Does anybody have any similar experience?[/QUOTE]
